One cannot talk about rights, including free speech, without adding the second part of the question:
Whose? Yours? Or Mine?

I support every one of my fellow Americans' right to free speech, meaning their right to non-censorship by the Government - with reasonable limitations.
Reasonable limitations meaning stuff like not being allowed to say "fire" in a crowded movie theater, or threatening to kill the President.
Therefore even though I don't agree with all of what the liberty net says, I support their right to say it.
What I don't like about the liberty net is that their "net" is a pseudo broadcast. But the FCC doesn't seem to have a problem so I guess it's fine.

I heard the whole thing last night. I tuned to 3950 at around 0900. At around 10:00 Eastern a W1 asked if the frequency was in use. There was no response. He asked again, again no response. He then called CQ and began a QSO with another station. About 5 minutes into the QSO several stations came on one of which was loud enough to arouse suspicion regarding his output power.
They began telling the stations in QSO that they had the frequency first and had merely gone to get refreshments. None of this was true of course since none of them were the entire time I was listening up to and including when the W1 station made his call.
Long story short, they bullied him off of the frequency all the while claiming innocence and that it was all the W1s fault. I don't know any of these people but what I heard was truly sad. Amateur radio used to be populated by intelligent people; I did not hear anything even close to intelligence. What I did heard was channel 19 at it's worst. I also noticed that two stations avoided identifying while a third gave a phony 1 by 1 call so they obviously knew what they were doing.

He probably doesn't have a 75M antenna. That, or the net is a little too Pro-"American" for his tastes...

W1WCR was himself the recipient of a NOV for this very thing back around the turn of this century. Repeated on-air infractions involving this net and its operation may not sit too well with the FCC...

It shouldn't sit well with anyone. #W1WCR was actually pretty calm about it, it was the other group of numbskulls that need to get a letter. #
I don't care who the guy is, what the unidentified stations did was totally wrong and it was digusting to listen to. #Go ahead and stick your head in the sand but don't whine when your next. #This isn't going to get better by spinning the dial because your going to run out of dial some day.

WCR probably got a letter because it was the only station they could identify in the fracas. But if you honestly think things are going to get any better in this enforcement regime i think you're sadly mistaken.
These days it takes forever for any kind of action to come from the FCC. Especially recently on 75 meters. It's a shame.. but unfortunately the truth right now..
